The original E30 M3 das never an "Coupe" or called Coupe ... it was an 2-door Sedan !!!
While it is technically true that many people in the 80s referred to the original E30 M3 as a "two-door saloon car," this is less of a revelation and more of a lesson in changing car semantics.

Regardless of terminology, the 4-door variant of the M3 is not the model that has been continuous since the first generation. The 2-door M3 has existed for every generation until now, and people will still lament the loss of the moniker for that model.
